I loved these stories !
 I especially was excited to read this book because some of my favorite authors are involved. I want to thank Barbour for having the creative foresight to know that sometimes I just want to read about a certain subject or location. It makes it that much easier to satisfy my craving :)
The stories in this book were great :) I loved all the various different ways the authors used to imagine preachers getting their brides. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this book and have actually bought a physical copy for myself.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing Group in return for my honest feedback. the thoughts and opinions expressed with in are my own.

Four Great Seuss Tales
This book contains four stories that Dr. Seuss had published in magazines early in his career but were never released in book form. One features Horton, while two others take us to Mulberry Street. The final, which is just two pages, features a very slick salesman.

I was leery of this book since it was released after Dr. Seuss’s death, but I found I enjoyed all four stories. By themselves, they are short, but together, they are quite fun. It certainly helps that these were polished and released by Dr. Seuss himself instead of cobbled together from abandoned notes after his death. The illustrations and rhyme are classic Seuss. Kids and their parents will be glad they gave this collection a chance.

Book Favorite

"Throughout my writing life I have relied on Marina Warner to guide me through the hidden realms of literature and culture. She has a wast knowledge of folk stories, religious tracts, legends and classical works from all points of the globe and her analysis of how they continue to be present in our lives and work is always inspiring. In Stranger Magic she tells the story of how Scheherazade’s tales in The Arabian Nights were embraced and appropriated by western culture without ever loosing their original power. As I am working my way towards a new novel which includes the influence of Arabic culture on medieval Icelandic writing Warner has once again provided me with her keen insight into the mechanisms of how stories travel."

This story is told from multiple perspectives, but I think Gabe is the protagonist of this novel. He is absolutely crushed man, his wife was murdered, and his daughter is missing, even though everyone tries to convince Gabe that Izzy is dead, Gabe refuses to accept it, because he saw her that day in the rusty car. There are many various characters in this book, and they tell their own stories, but it is incredible how the author knitted their stories into one, a beautiful and absorbing masterpiece. The characters are so complex and intriguing. In the beginning, I was left guessing, why this random service station waitress is sharing her life story? But the more I read, the more addicted I got.

Oddball drama
A rather odd, colourful drama series based on a collection of short erotic stories.
It's very flamboyant, with a mixture of weird and wonderful characters set in Tangier in the 50's. An American heiress travels to meet up with her English husband and encounters a hedonistic culture. Almost film noir like at times as well with plots covering some dark deeds as well.
Then main problem with a short 6 episode series as it feels directionless, probably not helped if it's based on several short stories. It doesn't seem to have a main plot running through it. What seems to be a major plot in one episode might be sidelined in the next. Just a bit strange overall.
